Hi there fellow riders.
I purchased a 2012 FJR1300 with 7400 miles on it in late May, and at the time of purchase I had noticed that the right fork seal was l weeping oil a little. 2000 miles later and I'm trying to do my first fork seal replacement job and I've run into an issue.
I have the new seal loaded into the fork, and last night at 1am while I was trying to get it seated I noticed the fork tube bound up and won't move. I tried to get it to release for about an hour, including using a floor jack and some wood to try and push it loose to no avail.
Anyone got any tips on how to unbork this before I cause too much expensive damage?
Thanks in advance!
